It's easy to get stuck in one place at a party and forget to mingle. Using the new Tortoise Coaster service, this won't be a problem at your next party. Using Tortoise Technology*, a waist-height coaster is provided for each party attendee. This coaster does more than support your guests' drinks,
it provides for random mixing of guests. Each Tortoise Coaster moves slowly and randomly around the room, moving the guest's drink and therefore the guest with it.
* Tortoise Technology consists of a tortoise with a pedastool attached to it's back.
Optional Modification: (A Moveable Feast, by [Tiger Lily])
Dinner plates sit atop shallow lighted fish bowls, an optical sensor in the base controlling a drive system based on the motions of the fish.

Oh, Worldgineer! I've been robbed! Now my own idea is
reduced to being merely an obligatory annotation.<sob> |
|
|
My idea was to have dinner plates sit atop shallow lighted
fish bowls, an optical sensor in the base controlling a
drive system based on the motions of the fish. |
|
|
It WOULD have been called, "A Moveable Feast"... |
|
|
Have a soggy bun would ya. ;b |
|
|
Sorry, [Lily]. I can share though. I'll trade you a drawing of your idea for title and idea space. |
|
|
Sorry, World, I'm having one of those days comprehending
simple deals... who gets the drawing? |
|
|
So, not at all related to that recent "amusement park for the fragile and wimpy" (or whatever it was called) idea we had here recently? |
|
|
The other version may be. I haven't dreamed it up yet. |
|
|
Strap a light to her, and bake [blissmiss]'s "Roving Bedroom Nightlight" idea. With permission, of course. I see that you've already incorporated the water-container portion as well ... |
|
|
World, you would have to wait until Christmas before I
could do
it. So, consider it yours, free to use now, just do me the
favor of
posting a photo of yourself with Amy in her pedastool.
Please, I insist. |
|
|
[Lbaf] Oooh. I like that. |
|
|
[TL] I'll pass on the photo if you don't mind. |
|
|
I'll settle then for the function that provides me
perpetual spin inside of a motorized iceglobe. |
|
|
Awesome! Could be done with old cats and dogs too. They move reaaaaaally slowly (if ever). |
|
|
Um, if they're not moving, they may be past old. |
|
|
Damn! So THAT was the smell bothering me! |
|
|
I like the combination of [Tiger Lily] and my idea. There's something beautiful about the idea of fish swimming above and tortoises walking below, creating a dynamic slow swirling of guests. |
|
|
//At last a practical use for Amy.// |

I've got a rather large red-eared slider. If you make a jumper from an electrostatic dusting cloth, they can earn their keep by cleaning behind the furniture. Try it, it works and it's fun to watch. |
|
|
Additional feature: If you'd like to stay where you are for a while, just drop some lettuce or tomato. |

<off topic>Removing [LBAF]'s link to [blissmiss]'s "Roving Bedroom Nightlight", which was good but now is gone.</off topic> |

+.......I'll have a SLOW Gin Fizz...(made with Vodka of course) |
